AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a foldable display device that prevents interference between components caused by the movement of a protective film, display panel, polarizing film, and buffer layer when the device is folded. The invention achieves this by avoiding the increase in the size of the through-hole in the display module that would otherwise be necessary to reduce or prevent interference. This technology prevents interference without affecting the functionality of the display device, making it more robust and reliable.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the foldable display device is folded or unfolded, components such as display panels and films of the foldable display device may be stressed.
Due to the slip of the components of the foldable display device, interference may occur between an optical sensor disposed in the through-hole and the component of the foldable display device.
